The StackRox Container Security Platform Today we announced that we will release an updated version of the StackRox Container Security Platform later this month. As we continue to lead the industry in container security innovation, we are excited to detail our new capabilities. Over the past nine months or so since we started shipping our software, we have seen a few consistent patterns among our enterprise customers. These organizations remain focused on reducing the attack surface across their container environments, and addressing orchestrator-based threats are a key part of that initiative.

“Keep Cloud Native Weird.” That was the motto of KubeCon + CloudNativeCon 2017, which I had the opportunity to attend last week in Austin. With the conference attracting more than 4,100 participants, hundreds of technical sessions, new project announcements, and key updates on existing initiatives, it is clear that the cloud native computing revolution continues to accelerate. Here are some of the highlights I found most interesting. KubeCon welcome mural

Last week marked another milestone for the public cloud. I had the opportunity to attend Amazon Web Services (AWS) re:Invent, along with more than 43,000 other attendees who descended on Las Vegas to hear how organizations are using the cloud, learn from more than 1,300 technical sessions, and catch a highly anticipated lineup of product announcements from AWS (an exhaustive list can be found here).

Four and a half years since it was first introduced, Docker continues to have a profound impact on reshaping how developers build, ship, and run software applications. Few could have anticipated the speed of Docker adoption that we have observed to date with more than 21 million hosts now running Docker, over 24 billion Docker container downloads, and a vibrant ecosystem of 100,000+ third-party projects that incorporate Docker. As the de facto standard for the container runtime and image format, Docker has democratized the ability for anyone to take advantage of container technologies that could previously only be utilized by a handful of the world’s largest, cloud-native companies.

The Red Hat OpenShift platform is enabling enterprise organizations to use container technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes to build, deploy, and run applications with unprecedented agility, scale, and speed. In this blog post, I’ll walk through how we’ve integrated StackRox with OpenShift to help our joint customers ensure comprehensive security across their container lifecycle. You can also visit the OpenShift Commons to view a recording of my briefing on this topic from last week, which goes into more details, and provides a live demo of StackRox running with OpenShift.

DockerCon EU 2017 Recap: Security, Kubernetes, and MTA Hej from Copenhagen! I’ve had the privilege of spending the last few days here at an incredible DockerCon EU. With thousands of attendees from hundreds of companies converging on the City of Spires, it’s clear that the Docker community is thriving across the world. Here are some of the highlights we saw this week.

Today we are excited to announce that version 1.3 of the StackRox platform is now generally available. Every new release adds a number of significant features, but 1.3 in particular enables greater flexibility, configurability, and scalability when securing some of the world’s largest enterprises running containers in production. We previously wrote that threat protection in container environments has to start with visibility and detection. This release delivers several advancements to detection rules, policies, and deployment automation that enable StackRox to discover a broader set of threats, faster.

The microservices revolution is underway. Businesses using microservices have reduced their development time by as much as 75%, fueling software innovation and competitive advantage. Today more than half of all enterprises using microservices and container technologies like Docker and Kubernetes are running them in production. And a vibrant ecosystem of more than 125 companies including Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Red Hat, IBM, CoreOS, Mesosphere, and others, continues to grow rapidly.
